Here’s some info you may want to share with your patients: The Washington Department of Health offers the SmartQuit app for free to Washington smokers who want to quit.
SmartQuit is an app-delivered smoking cessation program developed at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. SmartQuit uses a unique Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people learn new ways to deal with their urges to smoke. The DOH "SmartQuit 4 Free" program is free to ALL residents of Washington state (normally $50). A referral from a health provider is the greatest predictor of someone signing up and using a smoking cessation program. DOH provides promotional materials for free to health providers, including flyers and business card handouts.
DOH continues to offer Quitline and participants of SmartQuit are not excluded from using the Quitline services.
